Description

I do not have an up-to-date set of autotools installed on local machine, and Apache Ignite release build fails locally with the following error:

main::scan_file() called too early to check prototype at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 617.
configure.ac:36: warning: macro `AM_PROG_AR' not found in library
configure.ac:21: error: Autoconf version 2.69 or higher is required
configure.ac:21: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 63

I do not need to run these commands locally because I only need a quick assembly (java only, even no javadocs) to verify the release structure and command-line utilities integrity.

It would be great to move these commands to a separate profile (enabled by default) so users can skip them when building the release package, something like mvn initialize -Prelease -P!autotools.
